Farms and Markets

Farmers Market in the Heart of Downtown

As I was making my way around downtown Portland for the first time, I walked right into a beautiful park surrounded by huge, shady trees where a Farmers Market was taking place. I can't imagine a more natural and lovely setting to buy local...

Farmers Market & Restaurants

Brixton Market is hands down the best place in London to have Sunday brunch.

Choose from any of the stalls that serve Mexican tacos to traditional English style breakfast. I ended up at the Crepe restaurant the day I visited and loved the Asparagus...

Farm to Fork.

Farm Shop on Dalston Lane in London is quaint and perfect for a weekday lunch. Especially since the herbs and veggies and fish are grown right there. It doesn't get more local than that.

Symmetry of a Vineyard

I love wine. But, I also love vineyards. I love the bright green leaves; the green, red and purple juicy grapes; but, mostly, I love the symmetry of the rows of grapevines. There is something orderly to it all. And throw in a brightly-colored red...

Produce Stand

An Island's Bounty (topped with lardo)

Last year the New York Time's named the Willows Inn on Lummi Island one of 10 restaurants in the world worth a plane ride. Suddenly, the tiny island with a population of just 816 became a mecca for the food obsessed. Chef Blaine Wetzel, an alum of...

BC Farm Table Dinner

The collaborative efforts of Pemberton BC's North Arm Farm (whose amazing proprietor is also the town mayor) and Whistler's unparalleled Araxi Restaurant resulted in this unforgettable dining experience.

With majestic Mount Currie as the backdrop,...
